It is a commonly held belief that television news in Britain, on whatever channel, is more objective, more trustworthy, more neutral than press reporting. The illusion is exploded in this controversial study by the Glasgow University Media Group, originally published in 1976.

The authors undertook an exhaustive monitoring of all television broadcasts over 6 months, from January to June 1975, with particular focus upon industrial news broadcasts, the TUC, strikes and industrial action, business and economic affairs.

Their analysis showed how television news favours certain individuals by giving them more time and status. But their findings did not merely deny the neutrality of the news, they gave a new insight into the picture of industrial society that TV news constructs.

First published in 1980, More Bad News is the Second Volume in the research findings of the Glasgow University Media Group. It develops the analytic findings and methods of the first volume Bad News through a series of Case Studies of Television News Coverage, and argues that much of what passes as balanced and factual news reporting is produced from a highly partial viewpoint.

Focusing on the British economy in crisis, and its thematic linkage with the Social Contract during the first four months of 1975, the book deals with three main levels of activity: the story, the language and the visuals. As the book unpacks each level of routine news coverage a picture emerges which has the surface appearance of neutrality and balance but is in fact highly partial and restricted

The work and methodology of the Glasgow University Media Group has become a core part of many media and journalism studies courses, and their contribution to our understanding of the relationship between mass media and society is widely acknowledged. In recent years, their assertion of the role the media plays in shaping the audience's understanding of current affairs has provided a crucial counter argument to such theorists of postmodernity as Jean Baudrillard.
"The Glasgow Media Reader: Volume 1" looks at key articles and writings by members of the Group from the early 1970s to the present, making available material from the Group's classic but now out-of-print books. This volume focuses on issues of news content, language and the role of visual images in news reporting. It includes a comprehensive introduction by John Eldridge to the Group's work over the past two decades, and concludes with Raymond Williams' classic article, "Isn't the News Terrible."

Raymond Williams believed that making connections between politics, economics, education and culture was a continuing critical task. This is a critical exploration of every aspect Williams's work, which spans his fiction and non-fiction, and his contributions to drama, film, literary criticism, sociology, cultural studies, media studies and politics. Williams was a socialist intellectual with a complex relationship to Marxism. This work re-examines his wary utopianism and commitment to an educated, participatory democracy. It also studies his sharp critiques of modernity and postmodernity and evaluates the worth of his work on culture and communications.

Photography and Zen is a book about you, the photographer. It's also about awareness and the filters we place upon ourselves. Whilst some might suggest it's about learning to see in a new way, really it's about learning to see with the innocence of childhood. Professor Michael Eldridge, former Head of Post Graduate Studies in Photography at 'The Arts University' states in the Foreword: ""Stephen Bray writes here a travelogue about his voyage and search for meaning and inspiration. He also explores the relationship between photography and awareness within the context for formal Buddhist philosophy, for the benefit of those wishing to understand how these may be linked. Then, in Part Two, he shares his own experience and sets out some exercises for you to explore. "He gets lost, gets confounded in dead ends, is led and misled by people he comes across (it seems always by chance or perhaps by destiny) but they don't disappoint him as he knows he is learning from them; always open to new experience and always learning. There is one constant, his camera. It is not just one cherished item. It is a generic camera, an extension of his mind which somehow projects itself through his eye and then through the lens out into the so called world of reality."" The author of the highly regarded book 'Photography and Psychoanalysis' suggests that Zen is the simple realization that self and other are opposite sides of the state of 'being', and as a result photography is to be practiced as a compassionate activity. In 'Photography and Zen' Stephen Bray explores the relationship between photography and Zen Buddhism pointing to links and inconsistencies. In doing so he constructively demythologises both Zen and Contemplative Photography. The book is split into two parts. In Part One the author discusses the development of photography and its relationship to present centered awareness, and therefore Zen and Buddhism. If you've read other books of Contemplative Photography but are confused about it's background this book will help you understand what it's all about. Part Two is concerned with a young man's self-exploration and inquiry through the medium of photography. There are also exercises to help you to retrace his steps. If you're an experienced photographer yet somewhat dissatisfied with images you're making, or a complete novice seeking to understand how to make images for the first time this book is a great non-technical guide. But if you're simply looking for techniques of image manipulation then this work isn't for you. Although written for photographers anyone with a camera will gain insight into their true nature, by following the path suggested in part two of this book.
